... A2A/D2 heterodimers have been detected in living cells where the stimulation of both receptors doesn’t modify neither the number nor the distance within the heteromer. Heterodimers between A2AR and D2R might be responsible, at least in part, for the strong functional antagonistic interactions betwee ...
